Penryn, Cornwall-based Kernow Ed was founded in 2013 by Owner/Director Sarah King, Recruiter and Education Business Manager with over eleven years of experience. Today, the agency provide bespoke recruitment solutions, including whole schools support, throughout Cornwall and Devon. 2015 Lloyds Bank National Business Awards finalists, Kernow Ed continue to go from strength to strength; delivering teachers, teaching assistants and additional staffing support to eighteen Primary Schools, and Examination Invigilation specialists to Secondary Schools. Kernow Ed are dedicated to finding the right candidates for their clients – those sharing their ethos of full commitment to supporting local schools, raising educational standards and enabling young people in Cornwall and Devon to achieve more.

Growing as a business and adding consultants to their team, Kernow Ed began reviewing the recruitment software market with key requirements in mind, including functionality to; quickly add and manage new temp jobs, actively record and monitor compliance check information and use it to search for relevant candidates, and effectively communicate with clients and candidates throughout the placement process. Soon shortlisting AdaptUX due to the ease of use delivered by the systems’ user interface and Adapt Studio dashboard system; the advanced Temp Desk, compliance check management and Outlook Add-in features solidified their choice. Kernow Ed are now live with AdaptUX and their system features:

Cloud/SaaS (Software as a Service) – Bond OnDemand enables users to log-in and use AdaptUX wherever they have internet access

Adapt Studio – enabling users to choose from built-in recruitment dashboards or design their own based upon their preferred working methods

Adapt Temp Desk – comparing the Temp workflows provided by a number of recruitment software systems, Kernow Ed favoured the efficient processes delivered by AdaptUX in this important area
